Answer:

The answer is: (a) positive; (b) negative.

Explanation:

The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction is the amount of energy absorbed or released during a chemical reaction carried out at constant pressure.

a) In an endothermic chemical reaction, heat energy is absorbed by the system from the surrounding. Therefore, the sign of enthalpy change for an endothermic process is positive, ΔH= positive.

b) In an exothermic chemical reaction, heat energy is released by the system into the surrounding. Therefore, the sign of enthalpy change for an exothermic process is negative, ΔH= negative.

Explain why space junk is a hazard to an astronats or spacecraft

Pie

Answer:

Space junk is travelling so fast that a collision with an astronaut or a spacecraft could be disastrous.

Explanation:

Space junk orbits the Earth at speeds of about 28 000 km/h.

That's so fast that even an orbiting fleck of paint has enough kinetic energy to cause impact craters on the surface of a spacecraft. They are even more dangerous to an astronaut on a space walk.

Much of the space debris is larger and more dangerous than a fleck of paint.

One rough estimate of the amount of space debris is

Size Number of objects

< 1 cm 200 000 000

1 cm to 10 cm 700 000

> 10 cm 30 000

Satellites, etc. 18 000

The chances of collision are small, but any collision can be disastrous.

Amines are derivatives of Ammonia (NH₃) in which atleast one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Amines are further classifies as;

Primary Amines:
In primary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl group.

Secondary Amines:
In secondary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.

Tertiary Amines:
In tertiary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups, hence it has no hydrogen atom.

Below are three isomers of tertiary amines with molecular formula C₅H₁₃N.
